lyrics

I, the great creator
The artisan of all you see before you
Gaze upon perfection
A bright utopia made in my image

Elemental dictation, the harnessing of this ancient force
Godhood within reach
Now we are eternal

At the pinnacle of this great reign
Is a promise to fall
We await your bitter end from afar
Lurking behind the stars

Primordial remnants, spirits predating time fester and conspire
This citadel was built upon sand and shifting earth

Begin the fall
Your chance to relinquish this crown has long expired

Eons of evolution racing towards an impossible threshold
Sharpened to a Razor’s edge, once a humble species now a usurper
Giving in to temptation through omnipotence
Deeply owed, this insurrection, our gift to the new false gods

(Chaos)
Vision of selfish grandeur
(Chaos)
Scheming to overthrow the laws of nature
You overestimate your nature
You’ve fallen off this hierarchy
You thought you were so much more
Insignificant to us

At the pinnacle of this great reign
Is a promise to fall
We await your bitter end from afar
Lurking behind the stars

And the more that you acquire
The more we will take back
Your domain is but a smoldering ember
Against a sea of black

Wield your crude matter and shape your spec of a world
The flames of chaos cast the shadows of their true feeble forms

Absolvere
by Signs of the Swarm

supported by 6 fans who also own “Sovereign Cycle”

Take everything that's brutal and mix it together on a deathcore basis. Put the seasoning Signs Of the Swarm call their own into consideration and what you get is basically Absolvere. A perfectly diverse brutal beast with the occassional addition of clean vocals that are not bad. Could have done without them though. mourner
